ANTARCTICA
Three ways to Explore :
ICEBREAKERS, ADVENTURE SHIPS, EXPEDITION SHIPS

Far and Away
In Antarctica, everything is extreme. It is the most remote and least-known continent on earth. You’ll see icebergs larger than Luxembourg, spectacular mountains of rock 140 million years old, and wildlife thriving in some of the most severe conditions on earth. Exploring here with our tour operator Quark, you’ll see why Antarctica holds a special place in our imagination. It’s a transforming experience.

The Essence of Adventure
Quark Expeditions is the leader in polar travel. We offer unrivalled technical expertise, the most talented Expedition Team, the best equipment, and the highest standards of operation.

Quark’s passion for the polar regions defines their style : informal, exciting and fun! Still, their voyages are not for everyone: their expertise is adventure, not luxury. They offer exhilarating Zodiac rides, not silk sheets and chandeliers. They are very good at spotting whales but hopeless at ballroom dancing. They can fly helicopters but slot machines baffle them. In short, they are the essence of adventure. And are waiting to share their experiences with you.
